Manchester United’s proposed signing of Victor Lindelof has not been ruled out by Benfica coach Rui Vitoria.

United have held initial discussions with Benfica over a £38m move for defender Lindelof, despite the club having been reluctant to sell after qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Lindelof may have played his last game for Benfica on Wednesday evening as they ran out comfortable 2-0 winners over Rio Ave, and after the match, Vitoria admitted he was not worried about replacing the central defender.
